The EMDAS Master is designed to foster reflection and debate on crucial topics
related to the use of legal and illegal substances, as well as addictive behaviors,
from an international and multidisciplinary perspective. It is meant to provide students with knowledge and skills useful to investigate and analyse the psychological, social and health implications arising from alcohol and drug consumption. It also provides the possible responses to problems and offers the tools they need to face clinical practice and prevention challenges.

Originally the master’s degree was designed and developed by Middlesex University (UK) and the University of Piemonte Orientale (Italy). Today the master’s degree is part of the educational offerings of the University of Aarhus (Denmark) in addition to the University of Turin (Italy). The master is managed by COREP.
